Computer Science Engineer
High-level and demanding training to design the digital technologies of tomorrow and meet the challenges of the IT sector.
Deployed on the Metz campus, the CentraleSupélec computer science engineering program is aimed at students wishing to acquire solid expertise in computer science, while developing their ability to adapt to a constantly evolving field.
The course offers a common core in programming, social media, systems operating, intelligence artificial, big data, algorithmic and software development, supplemented by concrete projects, grounding in research and professionalization opportunities from the second year.
Become an Engineer Specializing in Computer Science
The course trains engineers who combine in-depth knowledge of the fundamentals of computer science with an openness to the systemic and societal challenges of digital technology.
Students master the technical tools of their discipline to model, develop, certify et optimiser software, information systems or intelligent applications, while integrating the dimensions of security, performance et ethical.
They also develop skills in communication, teamwork, project management and independent learning, enabling them to adapt to complex and multidisciplinary environments.
Course Objectives:
- Train engineers capable of design efficient and secure computer systems and software.
- Developing skills in artificial intelligence, autonomous robotics, and data science.
- Integrate a multidisciplinary vision, including socio-ecological issues and the principles of ethics and Responsibility Law.
Program
A 3-year course
The training is spread over six semesters, with academic semesters combined with professional internships. Those in spring (S6, S8, S10) include a period of in-company training (internship). In the third year, students can choose to complete the alternating training, which allows them to work in a company while continuing their studies.
The lessons are divided into 4 areas:
- Engineering Sciences
- Humanities, Business and Professionalization
- Techniques and technologies
- Computer science
weeks of internship
minimum weeks of international experience
present in 80 countries
compulsory modern languages
